My favorites lure, Joe's Flies Super Striker, never fails to ignite the fish. Here is a small white bass I landed on Sunday while out for my birthday fishing adventure. Painted beauty and a fine memory...

Soul: I use primarily two free programs for editing and manipulating images. paint.net and The GIMP.

This image was processed in GIMP. I used the "oilify" filter to simulate an oil painting of the photograph. Then I did some color enhancing to brighten it and give it some over saturation. Then I layered a "cartoon" filter over it. That added more colored separation and the darker and black "low-lights" making it look stamped.

This is me...

Welcome to PhotoCommunique

This is my near daily photography web log. I got interested in photography in high school and have been taking shots ever since. I am still developing techniques and honing my eye. I tend to gravitate toward macro shots, small subjects and low perspective. Have fun digging through the blog and looking at old posts. You will see that I have worked through different processing, framing and display techniques along the way. It's all in an effort to learn something new. All of these photos were taken with minimal equipment and consumer level cameras. You can do any of this with your camera too. Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment or ask a question. Let's learn this stuff together.
